Before i n. he could frame a question, Gloria 51 thanked him and fled up the stairs. f 9} About three o‘clock she emerged from ! y. her roc .11, dressed for the street, and 3 announced to Mrs. Hayes that she was v going for a short walk alone. i What the daughter of David Kerr told her hostess was the truth. She did go for a short walk, a walk that took her in the most direct way to the house where Joe Wright resided. The door was Opened for her by a little girl who invited her to enter. ‘I uis‘n to see Mr.\Vr1ght” Gloria explained to the child. “I’ll take you to his sitting-room. He told me to bring anybody in that came to see him. and to tell ’em he’d be back in a minute.” All was silence in the room when the little girl threw wide the door and bade her enter. “Then he’s not in the house, you say? “No, he’s gone to get a baggageman. but he said to wait,” Patty insisted. “Whom did he wish to wait?” “Oh, anybody. He said somebody’s coming to pack his books. He hurt himself and can’t bend over the box.” “Oh!” cried Gloria. with a. little gasp of pain. She remembered all too well the hurt of which he complained. Then at the same time came a new thought, why was he packing his books? A more critical look showed her many evidences thvt he was giving up his apartment. She could not understand. “Is Mr. Wright moving everything?” she ventured. "Yes. he's going away.” Glm'ia gazed at the child'in surprise, POI. quite grasping what she said. A smothered exclamation caused her to look up quickly. There, staring at her from the doorway in honest amaze- ment. stood Joe wright. She felt her cheeks crimson. “Miss Kerri You here!” he gasped, before he could master his surprise. "“1en in an instant he went on in an e\ on, conventional tone, “I beg your pardon, I sea 'cely expected to find you here)’ “No. Iâ€"lâ€"I scarcely expected to find myself here, but here I am.” As she said this she extended her hands, then dropped them, a gesture which seemed to typify the simplicity with which the visit had been accomplished. Wright readily recognized that there was some motive in the call, and dis- missed Patty with instructions to let him know if anyone asked for him. “W out you sit down?‘ he begg ed, remembering his duty as host. “Thank you, I haven’t a moment to stay.” \\ right look ed abo It for a chn’r. to find them filled v. ‘9: o dds and ends of things intenu ed, :0 be packeu.

I lived in a ieol’s Paradise. I did not know the truth.” Then vehemently losing control of herself: “Oh, why did you ever speak to me of love! You, of all men, to make my humilia- ation doubly great.” “Don’t speak so, I beg of you,”1 Wright commanded. “Can you believe ‘ that I have not suffered?” She chose to ignore his question. “Oh, if I had never come home! If I had even not gone to Judge Gilbert’s office that day! It was fate, Joe. it was fate. I can see it all now. We boast that we dominate circumstances, the gods laugh and are our masters still. Looking back the way we’ve come from that first night I met you here I can see that every step, relent- less as death. was leading to that day when I learned the truth about my father.” “And you know?” “Everything. That’s why I’m here. ‘It was really such a little time ago that I came back to Belmont, yet it seems ages. Oh, why didn’t you go away! You must have seen how it had to end. Since I came home and first met you, I’ve lived and suffered and grown old. And I had dreamed such dreams!” Here she paused, as if to fight back the painful memories of those rainbow dreams. Then she ad- mitted them. “And they became rosier and rosierâ€"because of you. Even the disappointments my father’s lack of polish caused me were nothingâ€"be- cause of you. Then you ceased to see me, and I didn’t understand. as 11111 thvt b7 “I wanted you so very muchâ€"thenâ€" and you did not come. I know now what it was; the election was coming on, you had begun to fight my father. You knew I didn’t realize his position in Belmont. I'm sincere. I want you to know I understand how hard it was for you, my friendâ€"becauseâ€"I be- lieve you loved meâ€"sincerely.” “Sincerely, Gloria.” His reply was almost a sob. “You know I begged you to go away. I would have fol1 lowed you, and you would never have known.” His last sentence was full of bitter- ness, an acknowledgment of the Never- Never Land whither all happiness had flown. I “That’s true, but the gods laugh and are our masters still. I felt that I owed it to my father to remain with him in Belmont; Then came the day in Judge Gilbert’s office. Did ever a girl have a courtship crowded into half an hour? So short a time there was between those few words of love and the rude awakening which followed that there remains to me now not even a sweet memory .of that avowal which all girls cherish'so. And thenâ€" well, that’s why I’ve come today. I 'couldn't let you go away without ask- ing you to' forgive me for what I said in Judge Gilbert's office.” “There’s no need of speaking of for- 8’0 She was not to be deterred from bar Hum he saw that she m- truth, or at least some speak of like or dislike. t.

No, Gloria, yo! just didn’t under- stand.” “You see, I was proud of my father. All my life he’d been an ideal, not a reality, and I thought him incapable of anything else. It turned out I was wrongâ€"what I said about you.” “But just the same, I was wrong, and wanted to tell you so before I went away. I knew I should not be here when you return, and so I came today)’ mont! ” "Yes, I am. Do you think I could stay!” Her tone made Wright’s heart sink. “No, I lack the courage, Joe, the moral courage. There’s that much of the butterfly left in me. I’m‘ not strong and brave like you are.” Gloria could not know how his strength and bravery were slipping from him little by little as they talk- ed. Her very presence was weaving its subtle spell about him, snaring him with her wan beauty, maddening .him with the thought that he was losing her So she was going away. He wondered why, speculating on how she had come to learn the truth. This led him to ask: “But your fa her?” Had Wright known what a piteous outburst this would evoke, he never would have spoken» ' , “My father! What am I to him? I haven’t seen him from that day. Since then I’ve been with Mrs. Hayes. When I learned at luncheon that you were going away, I had to come because I can’t forgive myself for what I said in Judge Gilbert’s office that came near ending so â€"- disastrously â€" for you.” “Please don’t think of it,” he begged. “I don’t connect you in any manner with the attack on me.” “But I do,” she insisted, “because I know the truth.” Here was the whole reason for her coming, she told her- self. “Since you’re in this fight to stayâ€"even though you’re fighting my own fatherâ€"I want you to have all the protection that knowledge of the truth will afiord. I’ve come to warn you.” Wright saw that he had not made her understand that he was giving up the fight. “But I’m going away.” “Yes, you’ve told me; but you’re coming back again because you know your place is here. There’s work to do.” He recognized instantly that it was her wish for him to remain. Her be- lief in him, such as it was, centered about his efforts to make Belmont a better place. Not wishing to explain what pain it would constantly give him were he to do so, he avoided the matter by referring to her own future. “What are you going to do?” “I? I’m going abroad in a few days.” “What does your father say to that?” Gloria’s lip curled with scorn at the question. Her answer came with the coldness of a woman of the world. “He can’t say anything. What is he to me? I haven’t even sent him word yet. He gave me everything in the world, but then at the supremest moment of my life he robbed me of it all. Would a father do that?” she asked fiercely. “What allegiance do 'I owe him. The claim of blood! Bah! He’s always wished-I’d been a boy. He didn’t lie to me because he loved me. He didn't even know me. Do you think it wrenches my heart to leave him now? No; a thousand times no. We’ve lived too many years apart. What have we in sympathy? We’d be strangers though we lived under the same roof for years.” t W533; . “Just drift. There is so much that I want to forget.” “Much, Gloria ?” he asked gently. “Yes, much.” She would not let him trap her into a damaging admission. “Everything?” “Everything painful.” Her attitude, he felt it was antago- nistic, impatient even of his kindly questioning, stirred him to a vigorous reply. After all, she was but a child. and like a. child wanted to shirk the lesson life was teaching her. “But when you go abroad what are you going to do?” He could see no future for her. “Surely I’ve not been mistaken in you,” he began. “It’s by sufiering that we learn to live. You’ve only‘ come to see life as it is, that’s all. Would you throw away the precious knowl- edge that is power for an Arcadian ignorance akin to weakness? You’ve just said that you’ve come to warn me of something. Were you true to your theory of life, you would leave me in ignorance, because the truth would give me pain. But you don’t believe that.” - From the depth of his world-scarred motioned on DISC 2 “You’re not going to leave Bélâ€" ‘ “17:45 Bamsh the “Blues!” have that depressed feeling it’s more than likely that your Mont of orderâ€"impoverished or poisoned.
